Washington Examiner economics columnist Tiana Lowe Doescher pushed back on the idea that women must delay motherhood to achieve professional or political success, arguing that women can pursue influential careers while also raising families. “The idea that, oh, in order to be a full person, you have to delay motherhood,” Doescher said on CNN’s Group Chat Monday. Doescher made the comments in response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) decision to freeze her eggs and share the process with her followers, telling them she would continue documenting it and inviting them to submit questions.
I’m glad egg freezing exists for women who haven’t found Mr. Right yet, but if you’re 36 & with the same fiancé of a decade, just remove the goalie! Honestly if you’re well situated in your career and can afford a nanny, one child really doesn’t change your life that much. https://t.co/FRV30Shmxf— Tiana Lowe Doescher (@TianaTheFirst) August 9, 2026
Doescher noted that the congresswoman is approaching 37 and has been in a long-term relationship with her partner. “So AOC is almost 37. She’s been with the same partner for over a decade. She can do whatever she wants, right? She can freeze her eggs, she can delay it,” Doescher said.
